Got my OW and AOW this summer, been hitting the water as much as possible and the more I get out there the more I love it.
I dive a White's drysuit with latex seals and when doing multiple dive per day I get a very irritated neck, soo much so that it can even scab and looks/acts like a burn (resembles a failed hanging). If I'm only out for a single dive I don't notice anything and as far as I'm aware I have no latex allergies, I've had a fair amount of practice with latex *cough**cough**nudge**nudge*
I'm just wondering if this is a case of the seal being too tight (I'm not choking or anything) or if this is a common problem with latex seals? Should I be going to the expense of having a neoprene neck seal installed or is there something I can do to prevent this? (insert KY joke here)...
